Don't be bothered if he cuts the paint down what seems a lot with water (this is exterior paint )...he did that and it looked very washy so he explained if you don't cut it down , it usually bubbles and peels off within 6 months , so he waters it down and gives a few coats, this is the way nearly everyone does it , It soaks in and builds up better that way

Yes, going back down Ataturk from the High street, turn left at the island just before The Panormos Hotel. heading towards 'the photographers called Vision or Studio Vision then maybe 50mtrs down on the right ( just by the Notre) is a large shop where we had paint mixed to the colour we required, easier if you have a sample, and yes also plenty of colour charts to chose from.
